Configuring basic MSDP functions
All the configuration tasks should be performed on RPs in PIM-SM domains, and each of these RPs acts
as an MSDP peer.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure basic MSDP functions, complete the following tasks:
• Configure any unicast routing protocol so that all devices in the domain are interoperable at the
network layer.
• Configure PIM-SM to enable intra-domain multicast forwarding.
• Determine the IP addresses of MSDP peers.
• Determine the address prefix list for an RP address filtering policy.

Creating an MSDP peer connection
An MSDP peering relationship is identified by an address pair, namely, the address of the local MSDP
peer and that of the remote MSDP peer. An MSDP peer connection must be created on both devices that
are a pair of MSDP peers.
If an interface of the router is shared by an MSDP peer and a BGP or MBGP peer at the same time, HP
recommends you to configure the IP address of the MSDP peer the same as that of the BGP or MBGP
peer.

Configuring a static RPF peer
Configuring static RPF peers can avoid RPF check for SA messages.
